The Chevy Bolt was once revolutionary. May it rest in peace. (From 2016)
beat Tesla Motors in the race to produce a truly affordable electric vehicle with triple-digit range.
That first number is its range: 200 miles on a fully charged battery. That's a number exceeded only by Tesla, whose cheapest model starts north of $70,000. And that brings us to the second number. Chevy promises the Bolt will cost less than $30,000 after the $7,500 federal tax credit. Together, they make the Bolt the first EV that delivers excellent range at a great price. It is the electric car for the masses.
For now, GM isn't saying anything about the car's specs, battery, or recharge time. But based upon what we know about the Bolt's range and the specs of the smallest pack in the Tesla Model S, which delivers 240 miles, we're guessing it's around 60 kilowatt-hours with a recharge time of about three hours. GM also isn't saying just when the car hits the market, but given that it's being called a 2017 model, it'll later this year.
The rearview mirror displays images from rear-mounted cameras. The 10.2-inch center screen features a 4G LTE connection and what GM calls "EV navigation mapping"---essentially pointing you toward charging stations when you need to power up.
